We're dividing 239704 by 53 
We want to divide 239704 by 53.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 53

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 53

On to step 3:
The number 53 fits into 239 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 212 from 239 to get 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 53

Step 4:
When dividing 277 by 53, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 265 from 277 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 452.0
If we take 106 away from 120, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 144 by 53, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4522.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 106 from 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4522.7
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 371 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 53 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4522.71
If we take 53 away from 90, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4522.716
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 318 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
53 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4522.7169
If we subtract 477 from 520, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 430 by 53, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4522.71698
If we subtract 424 from 430, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
53 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4522.716981
If we subtract 53 from 60, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 53 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4522.7169811
If we take 53 away from 70, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4522.7169811, and the remainder is 1.7e-07.
